righteous indignation
My stupid friend spends her time making off the cuffs remarks in my replies. But she hasn't found it fit to tell me how she liked the books I recommended to her.
Now, Lily's generally a good sport and will read whatever I put in her hands, eventually. But I'm curious, the same way a chef prepares an excellent meal and anxiously awaits the compliments of his customers. Or the same way a vinter prepares the first glass of this summer's wine.
She has not seen it fit to tell me how excellent my selection is and how she's been living in a literary shadow all her life. I am indignant. Does Wolfgang Puck not deserve compliments (I don't know, someone treat me to this Puck's food please!)? Has Robert Mondavi not deserved his accolades?
Of course, I didn't write the books, but maybe the waiters deserve recognition too!
Jerk.
ps. I recommended Neil Gaiman, George R R Martin and Terry Pratchett to her. Though she's not read any of Pratchett yet. If she continues to be an ungrateful wretch I shall have to recommend books like Robert Jordan to her. Hahahaaaaa....

Now, should I take this challenge to the verbal jousting? Ha.
It may seem like you are priding yourself (although through indignance) on being this literary...by your own words..."waiter" to my booklist, it really is just an advertisement of how much you thrive on the notion of "oh oh oh someone is reading my blog!! Oh oh I am so important!" Watch out, you may be fending away your only reader there. (Ha, hit point scored!)
You say "Jerk", I say "Bring it on!"
You're a good sport too.
